This mega-scale adaptation of Max Brooks's richly detailed faux-historical novel presents a zombie apocalypse on a ginormous level never seen before on film. With ferocious intensity, Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball) depicts chaos, panic and complete lack of crowd control in sequences that feel both over-the-top and eerily plausible. Brad Pitt plays a UN inspector who must leave his family to find the source of the zombie virus… and, of course, save the world. D: Marc Forster, US, 2013, 116m
